I would like some help on this, please?

Hi,

If you are looking for a patch to check the security on your system, you can try this,

Hope this helps.

What I meant was the following : For Linux there is a GNU product called (I believe) chkrootkit, which detects if rootkit has been installed on your system by a hacker. Is there a similar product for HP-UX, or will the patch do the same function?

hi Debu,

The patch checks your hp-ux system to see how secure your system is or if it has been compromised in any manner. You can also look at the hp security home page,

Hope this helps.

Hi,

A rootkit usually replaces your ls, ps and netstat commands.

If you run the untampered binaries from a cdrom, you will be able to find traces of a rootkit from the output eg. in ps and netstat.

Hope this helps. Regards.
